About the Mizzou Botanic Garden

Garden flower

The Mizzou Botanic Garden is a living museum of thousands of plants displayed amongst famous icons, such as Jefferson's original grave marker and the Columns of Academic Hall.

The garden is designed to delight campus visitors with its beauty and to provide a fertile academic environment for educators, researchers and students.

The Mizzou Botanic Garden is open year-round and is free. Maps for self-guided tours are available in the Reynolds Alumni Center.

We hope you will visit often as the garden changes with each season and grows with each passing year.
